The Wirral and Ellesmere Port branches of Worth Unlimited are based in the offices of Tranmere Community Project (TCP) in Tranmere Methodist Church, Birkenhead. Our team currently consists of one full time Project Development worker and one part time Project Worker. Over the last two years the branch has delivered 7 personal development programmes to young people. A diverse range of groups has included a peer group from a housing estate in Birkenhead, young people on an “Entry to Employment” course, young people in a supported housing project and young people referred to us from Connexions. One of our main programmes I delivered on behalf of Merseyside Connexions. Six young people who are not in education, employment or training are spending time with us every Monday, looking at themselves, their skills, the future, employability and group work dynamics. This programme lasts for 10 sessions including a weekend residential where we will focus on employment. Coming up this year we will be focusing on a particular estate in Ellesmere Port where petty crime doubles during school holidays. We are running 3 programmes in conjunction with Ellesmere Port Youth Inclusion and Support Panel (YISP). YISP is a group of statutory agencies (e.g. Police, Fire, Education etc) who work with children aged 8 to 13. YISP will be working with the local schools to identify children who may benefit from personal development and group work and will then refer them to our programmes. We are running a programme for YISP over Easter and two in the summer holidays.
